Learning and fun at Amberley Museum

Visitors to Amberley Museum in the South Downs National Park can share the magic and intrigue of the past with a ride on vintage buses and trains, learning about the industrial heritage of the south east and see history in the making with a fascinating selection of resident craftspeople working to traditional methods including a stained glass maker, potter, blacksmith and walking stick maker.

Open every Wednesday to Sunday from 21 March to 4 November including bank holidays, the 36-acre site offers a range of undercover exhibits including the Connected Earth telecommunication display, electricity hall, print workshop and railway exhibition hall. There is a restaurant on site, gift shop, picnic areas and nature trails.

Throughout the year the museum holds more than 20 special events. Guided tours and behind-the-scenes tours are available for groups on request and coach drivers receive a free meal ticket with free coach parking.
